[yoEMAW]

You have got to try the burger from Kite's.   

[Spracne]

wildcathokie- give me a brief idea of you and the person you and going w/ and what you are looking for. high brow? crap show? somewhere in the middle?

Just keep in mind that hokies are the eunuchs of the bird world.

after my last final i walked right to the lou with my backsack on and pounded some busch pounders and a spicy egg

[Duncan]

Myself and a small group will be making it back for this game. One guy in our group went to Virginia.


Let me know if you want me to arrange a meet up so you two can duke it out for our enjoyment.


He's a pretty small guy but I assume he's scrappy.


Probably something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vrYnbWaprg

Somewhere in the middle. We aren't high brow at all. Looking to check out the college atmosphere but also knowing we are a few years removed from being college aged ourselves.

Power Engineering. Pahwa is my Major Professor. Taken a few courses taught by Starrett, and a bunch of others. You an Engineering major?

I took a class taught by Dr. Starrett a couple years ago. Also I don't know if you want to sit in the student section or not, but there's a ticket exchange group on facebook solely for student tickets. You would have to somehow get the pass back to whoever you bought it from which could be a pain for you.

Hey KSU NATION! 

I'm a Hokie (Virginia Tech) undergrad, but for the past 4 years I've been taking classes remotely at KSU to get my Masters in Engineering. My friend and I are both traveling to Manhattan (for the first time ever) to defend our masters on October 24-26. We are planning on attending the KSU/Texas game while we are in town. We'd love some input from true KSU fans. Things like...

- Best places to buy tickets. Is scalping a good option?
- Suggestions on best places to sit for KSU fans. We are willing to pay around $100 per ticket but definitely don't want to sit with the Texas fans. Where do the rowdy KSU fans usually sit?
- General gameday suggestions for cool things to see
- Places we MUST see and great places to eat in manhattan
- Where to buy KSU gear. Shirts, etc.
- Best bars?

Looking forward to the season and especially making the trip to Manhattan! 

1. Get iCAT, send PM for details about that.
2. Come party at Casa De Winters
3. Probably has been said, big juicy burger at Kites.

[8manpick]

The Big Train's food (and to some degree bar) recommendations are a bit concerning

Thanks. I don't think we can do the iCAT since we don't have student IDs and all that. I'll PM.

On vividseats and they have tickets in our price range in the Endzone (sections 13-16) and the upper level (sections 420-430).

[meow meow]

get south endzone before upper deck, watch out for the SE corner or the endzone though, that's where our pals from Austin will be sitting.

Do not eat the burger at Kite's.

Do not eat the burger at Kite's.

Unless you just want a mediocre burger.

I would wait/look elsewhere (stubhub) craigslist MHK, ticket exchange on kstatesports.

[MadCat]

get south endzone before upper deck

Yes, I would recommend this before going to upper deck.  I don't know why you should necessarily avoid the visiting seating section, it's not like you are sitting next to the OU band or Nebraska fans for this game. 

I can't speak for the burger at Kite's.

I can.  They are delectable

which ones 

[Winters]

I have no idea how hard or difficult it is to get in to the student section now.

I've got this.

[mocat]

omg the lounge/station fiasco was pretty lol

[sonofdaxjones]

No, I don't think it can be emphasized enough:  Get the burger at Kite's.   

[Tobias]

omg the lounge/station fiasco was pretty lol

station's duck fat fries > lou's duck fat fries

Just go to every bar in the Aggieville district and tell the bartender you want the establishment's signature drink. You will have a lot of fun.

[KITNfury]

Just go to every bar in the Aggieville district and tell the bartender you want the establishment's signature drink. You will have a lot of fun but remember none of it an wake up with an itch in personal places and get worried that u got something serious but it turns out that it's nothing but later find out you did get HPV, which you prolly actually got before that night so zall good.

Fixed

Do this, but go to Auntie Maes last. waks will probably serve you something that will end your night.

[Dr Rick Daris]

wildcathokie- everybody is screwing with you about kites. it's an inside joke we do to people we don't like but i like you. don't go there. also, try to get out of that hotel you currently have. it's a 1.5 star dump. like somebody said earlier, scalpers might be ok but it's also sometimes hit/miss for big games. check stubhub and craigslist and start right now. stay away from the southeast corner if you don't want opposing fans. that's probably where they will be. also try to avoid upper deck east side (421, 422, etc). those seats are absolute garbage.

for food and drinks just stay in aggieville and you'll be fine.
food-so long saloon, taco lucha, coco bolos, aggie station and rock a belly deli.
for drinks there's a billion places, but i would at least drop into auntie maes (basement bar) and aggie lounge (crap hole) because of the uniqueness of each. make the rounds though. that's what aggieville is for.

[mocat]

even local beat cops get lounge/station confused
